Catarina listened as her students answered her question. So far so good. They seemed to have a pretty good amount of knowledge about the planets so far. As she listened, she was contemplating what approach to take for this class. After all, it was her first time teaching and there were so many techniques she wanted to try. After a little thinking, she decided she could try everything she wanted to and see how that went over with the class. Once she was satisfied with the answers, she spoke up. "Very good so far class, very good indeed. What I was looking for was Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. As you can tell, we have majority of those."

Now what to do? Catarina bit her lip as she thought. Maybe awarding galleons would be the right thing to do. "By the way, since I don't know all of you yet, for this lesson please make sure you tell me your house and name at least once. It will help me remember who you are. Now to award galleons. Six galleons for Kyra Henderson. Unfortunately I don't know the names of the rest of you so if you could introduce yourselves when answering the next question that would be helpful so I can award galleons correctly."

Most professors would be annoyed by the student saying "Raxicoricofallapatorius" but she knew that maybe the girl really did think that was a planet. She looked at the girl and gave an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry I don't know your name but Raxicoricofallapatorius is incorrect. I'll award you a single galleon for participation. Your other answer will give you three galleons." She wanted to be as fair as possible. At least the girl was participating, right?

She was trying to figure out what to ask the class next. The possibilities were almost endless. The solar system was quite fascinating so she knew she could take almost any approach with them. "Next I'd like for all of you to tell me a few things." She turned and walked over to the board. With wand in hand she began writing as she spoke. "Choose a planet or two and answer the following questions: One: Distance From The Sun. Two: Rotation (In Earth Days, if possible). Three: Volume. Four: Mass" She hoped it wouldn't be too difficult for the students to answer the questions. This class was meant to make them think, not stress the students out.

(OOC: If you could please say you answered the questions using this form:

Code:
Question One: [insert answer]
Question Two: [insert answer]
Question Three: [insert answer]
Question Four: [insert answer]

I think answering in line format is easiest as long as you answer by speaking to me. Hope it's not too much of a bother. And please remember to introduce yourself if you haven't already.)

Hester was confused. These next questions were really hard. She thought hard, and then put up her hand.

"I'm Hester Alderman, Gryffindor," she said.
"Question One: Mars is about 128 million miles from the sun." She had had a space fact sheet on her wall when she had been little.
"Question Two: I think it rotates in one day..."

She didn't know the volume and mass, so she didn't say anything for those questions.

"I'm Terry Berbatov, Ravenclaw." Terry said.

"Uh, for Question one, Mercury is around 4 million miles away from the sun, and it rotates in a vear or so, and I don't know vhat the other two mean." she said. Did the teacher expect most of them to know what 'mass' or 'volume' meant at 11, along with a all magic upbringing for some of them? Strange woman...

Oh well; she would just read the textbook and try to figure out what they mean later.
